This Saturday 8pm on PBS premieres "Sheléa with the Pacific Symphony", a project recorded last fall with my Fly Pack system. PBS is currently on the verge of losing a very important grant from current administration. As an artisan whom worked on many PBS Specials over the years, I can't stress enough the importance to support this true American gem. The only TV network that pushes and promotes the Arts, Science and many great educational programming. Read a little bit about this project on the latest Studio Expresso newsletter.

Just 2 years ago today started The Recording Project's first adventure bringing my brand new recording fly pack to Guadalajara, Mexico to record legendary latin rock band Maná. Built around DirectOut Technologies MC Prodigy Modular Converter which has greatly proven to be quite a solid workhorse in capability and sonically. In those last 2 years projects with Neil Young, Melissa Etheridge, Eric Clapton, Imagine Dragons, Laufey, Macklemore, Dua Lipa, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai and many more all have been recorded with my fly pack system. Looking forward to many more projects in the next year ! Photo by David Goggin aka Mr. Bonzai
